Four of the Most Magical Movies from Your Childhood
Whether it was the enchanting characters, the memorable scenes or simply because it was the first film your mum or dad took you to, these are the movies that have left the most lasting impressions over the decades.
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
“I loved it for two reasons. First, it showed a wonderful, loving extended family. I was fascinated by their kitchen setting and the little corner where the boy Charlie slept. Second, inside the chocolate factory was what all children dreamed of. The whole movie transported me from my childhood worries into a fairyland world.” — Margaret McKee
Dumbo
“For a kid who often felt like he didn’t fit in, and wasn’t good at anything, it was magical to see Dumbo discover his talent and become loved and celebrated.” — Lorraine
The Never-ending Story
“It has to be the most magical movie. The story has everything a young kid can ask for: a great story, a mythical flying dog and an interesting ending. Our family continue to watch it today. ” — Aaron Elliott
The Sound of Music
“When I was young, movies were a treat, with lollies, friends and a canvas seat. There was a special one that I did adore, and many times I’ve gone back for more. The songs, the scenery and the story line always transport me to another time. It is such a classic that my memories of it are so fantastic.” — Joanne Carter

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory中“The whole movie transported me from my childhood worries into a fairyland world.(整部电影把我从童年的烦恼带入了童话世界)”由此可知,电影Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory和童话世界有关。故选B。

细节理解题。根据Dumbo中“For a kid who often felt like he didn’t fit in, and wasn’t good at anything, it was magical to see Dumbo discover his talent and become loved and celebrated.(对于一个经常觉得自己格格不入、什么都不擅长的孩子来说,看到小飞象发现自己的天赋、受到爱戴和赞扬,真是不可思议)”由此可知,电影Dumbo也许最能帮助缺乏自信的孩子。故选A。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据The Never-ending Story中“The story has everything a young kid can ask for: a great story, a mythical flying dog and an interesting ending.(这个故事有一个小孩子想要的一切:一个伟大的故事,一个神秘的飞行狗和一个有趣的结局)”可推知,Aaron Elliott认为电影The Never-ending Story满足了他所有的期望。故选B。
B
My childhood was a painted picture of sunny sky and rolling green fields stretching to the horizon. It tasted of sharp berries and smelt of sour grapes. My family lived in a cabin(小木屋) in the countryside but I lived in my mother’s arms. They were so delicate but strong, her red hair falling around me like a curtain separating me from the world.
Childhood was simple. The borders of my village were the furthest my troubles went and monsters only lived in the pages of books. Every day was a waking dream of running races and muddy knees. My village was archaic, dying cabins housing dying farmers with dying traditions. There weren’t many children but me and the other boys; boys of butchers and sellers formed our own group.
They called us wild. I suppose we were. Trees and mountains formed our playgrounds and fights broke out as easily as sudden laughter. Liberated from the restrictions of society, we would bound into the woods, deeper and deeper until we found a lake which, with a wild yell, we would jump into all at once.
My most vivid memories from boyhood center around that lake. Water shone brightly and the sounds of our screams broke into the outcry from birds. The shock of cold water against sweating skin would wake every nerve in my body and my bare feet would hit the sinking muddy bottom. As we submerged(淹没), time would suspend, movements slowing as bubbles rose around us.
I was drowning. I was living. I was living. I was drowning.
For timelessness or a second (both felt the same), we would suspend, curl up, and then be forced back out into breathing air.
We should have known that it wouldn’t last forever. Yet, even under the best circumstances, there’s something so tragic about growing up: to have your perspective on the people and life around you change;to always struggle to reach a mirror only to find yourself tall enough to see your reflection one day. And find, a different person staring back out at you.
4. What does the underlined word “archaic” mean in paragraph 2
A. Borderless.
B. Valueless.
C. Old-fashioned.
D. Poverty-stricken.
5. Why did the author consider himself and other children wild
A. They played in the woods crazily.
B. They tricked others purposefully.
C. They frequently broke social rules.
D. They firmly refused school education.
6. How does the author introduce his memories of the lake
A. By sharing feelings.
B. By expressing ideas.
C. By making comparisons.
D. By describing characters.
7. What message does the author seem to convey in the last paragraph
A. Loneliness and challenges make a man grow up.
B. The regret of growth is that you have never tried.
C. Growth is often accompanied by sad goodbyes to the past.
D. Growth begins when we begin to accept our own weakness.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要描绘了作者对于童年美好生活的回忆以及对于长大后童年时光逝去的感伤。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据考查词汇所在句子“My village was archaic, dying cabins housing dying farmers with dying traditions.(我的村庄很古老,垂死的小屋住着垂死的农民,他们的传统已经消亡。)”,并结合上下文语境可知此处是描写我小时候生活的村庄很陈旧。archaic意为“陈旧的”。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Trees and mountains formed our playgrounds and fights broke out as easily as sudden laughter. Liberated from the restrictions of society, we would bound into the woods, deeper and deeper until we found a lake which, with a wild yell, we would jump into all at once.(树木和山脉构成了我们的游乐场,打架就像突然的笑声一样容易爆发。从社会的束缚中解放出来,我们会跳进树林里,越陷越深,直到发现一个湖,我们会大叫一声,立刻跳进湖里。)”,可知,之所以作者认为自己和其他孩子都是野孩子,是因为他们在树林里疯狂地玩耍。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四至六段的“Water shone brightly and the sounds of our screams broke into the outcry from birds. The shock of cold water against sweating skin would wake every nerve in my body and my bare feet would hit the sinking muddy bottom. As we submerged(淹没), time would suspend, movements slowing as bubbles rose around us.(水面闪闪发光,我们的尖叫声被鸟儿的叫声打断了。冷水对着出汗的皮肤的冲击会唤醒我身体的每一根神经,我的光脚会撞到下沉的泥泞的底部。当我们潜入水中时,时间会停止,随着我们周围的气泡上升,运动变慢。)”和“I was drowning. I was living. I was living. I was drowning.(我快淹死了。我还活着。我还活着。我快淹死了。)”以及“For timelessness or a second (both felt the same), we would suspend, curl up, and then be forced back out into breathing air.(在一段时间或一秒钟内(两者的感觉都是一样的),我们会暂停,蜷缩起来,然后被迫重新呼吸空气。)”可知,作者从自己当时的所见、所听、所感等多个层面描绘了自己童年时对于湖的回忆。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“We should have known that it wouldn’t last forever. Yet, even under the best circumstances, there’s something so tragic about growing up: to have your perspective on the people and life around you change;to always struggle to reach a mirror only to find yourself tall enough to see your reflection one day. And find, a different person staring back out at you.(我们早该知道爱情不会永远持续下去。然而,即使在最好情况下,成长也有一些悲剧:你对周围人和生活的看法发生了变化;你总是挣扎着去拿镜子,却发现自己已经足够高,有一天可以看到自己的倒影。然后发现,另一个人正盯着你。)”,可知,作者在最后一段似乎传达了“成长常常伴随着对过去的悲伤告别。”故选C。
C
Typically, a person sitting in the driver’s seat of a car opens the door with the hand closest to it. It makes sense since doors are designed to be opened that way. Pull the handle and immediately the door is open. But if you happen to do that at the wrong time, you may create an obstacle (障碍) for a passing cyclist without knowing it. Then the cyclist will be sent falling off the bike, and the car door is likely to be damaged by the fast-moving bicycle.
Obviously the solution is for the person getting out of the vehicle to check for oncoming traffic, but car door design and long-time habits have made the process instinctual. Luckily, there’s a simple way to solve the problem: the Dutch reach. In other words, instead of using your left hand, reach for the door latch (门锁) with your right hand. This will force you to turn your body. At least, you’ll look into your side view mirror to see whether any car or bike is coming.
“It’s just what Dutch people do,” said Fred Wegman, the former managing director of the National Institute for Road Safety Research in the Netherlands. “All the Dutch are taught it. It’s part of regular driver education.”
The technique dates back about 50 or 60 years, and it was very popular between the 1960s and the 1980s. But it didn’t really become known as the Dutch reach until a retired American physician named Michael Charney started the Dutch Reach Project in 2016 in an effort to popularize the practice in the United States and beyond. According to The Times, he was motivated by the death of a 27-year- old who rode into an open car door and died just five blocks from his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Charney’s efforts may be paying off. Both Massachusetts and Illinois now include the Dutch reach in their drivers’ manuals (手册).
8. What is the first paragraph intended to show
A. The poor design of the car door and handle.
B. A common conflict between cars and bicycles.
C. A main cause of traffic accidents linked to cyclists.
D. Potential risks associated with opening the car door.
9. What does the underlined word “instinctual” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Complex. B. Possible. C. Natural. D. Dangerous.
10. How does the Dutch reach help to reduce traffic accidents
A. By making the person open the car door more easily.
B. By forcing the person to check for approaching traffic.
C. By reminding the person of the traffic lights frequently.
D. By helping the person see the side view mirror more clearly.
11. What made Charney introduce the Dutch reach into America
A. Its popularity among Dutch people. B. Its appearance in drivers’ manuals.
C. A project launched in the year 2016. D. The death caused by a traffic accident.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Dutch reach这样一个简单的动作,可以帮助防止开车门对骑自行车的人造成伤害,同时车主也可保证车门的安全。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中的“But if you happen to do that at the wrong time, you may create an obstacle (障碍) for a passing cyclist without knowing it. Then the cyclist will be sent falling off the bike, and the car door is likely to be damaged by the fast-moving bicycle. (但如果你碰巧在错误的时间这样做,你可能会在不知情的情况下给路过的骑车人制造障碍。然后,骑自行车的人会被从自行车上摔下来,车门很可能会被快速行驶的自行车损坏)”可知,在第一段中作者想表明错误的开车门会带来潜在风险,导致事故。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。由第二段中的“Obviously the solution is for the person getting out of the vehicle to check for oncoming traffic, but car door design and long-time habits have made the process instinctual. (显然,解决方案是让下车的人检查迎面而来的车辆,但车门设计和长期的习惯让这个过程变得instinctual)”可知,结合long-time habits可得出,长期习惯会变成本能,因此instinctual意为“本能的(Natural)”。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段“Obviously the solution is for the person getting out of the vehicle to check for oncoming traffic, but car door design and long-time habits have made the process instinctual. Luckily, there’s a simple way to solve the problem: the Dutch reach. In other words, instead of using your left hand, reach for the door latch (门锁) with your right hand. This will force you to turn your body. At least, you’ll look into your side view mirror to see whether any car or bike is coming. (显然,解决方案是让下车的人检查迎面而来的车辆,但车门设计和长期的习惯让这个过程变得本能。幸运的是,有一个简单的方法来解决这个问题:Dutch reach。换句话说,不要用左手,而是用右手抓住门闩。这将迫使你转动身体。至少,你可以看看你的侧视镜,看看是否有汽车或自行车来了)”可知,荷兰人为了帮助减少交通事故,强迫下车人员检查接近的车辆。故选B项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段中的“According to The Times, he was motivated by the death of a 27-year- old who rode into an open car door and died just five blocks from his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. (据《泰晤士报》报道,Charney是因为一名27岁的男子的死亡,这名男子骑着自行车撞上了一扇敞开的车门,死在离马萨诸塞州剑桥市家仅五个街区的地方)”可知,Charney将Dutch reach引入美国是因为一场交通事故造成的死亡。故选D项。
D
Most people have no idea what to do with their old drugs. Unused or expired(到期的) medicines lying around at home can get into the wrong hands, leading to accidental poisoning or drug overdose. When drugs are flushed or sent to landfill, the medicines can pollute our groundwater, rivers, and streams, threatening human and sea life.
In an effort to find a solution for drugs kept in medicine boxes or waterways, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration launched its first National Take-Back Day in September 2010. In the drug take-back program, the returned drugs are sent to medical waste incinerators (焚烧炉). However, the process of transporting and burning such waste can release green-house gas emissions that could be potentially greater than those generated if the drugs were poured into landfills.
“But take-back programs are preferred as they reduce the risk of drug misuse and the incin-eration effectively eliminates the entrance of these medicines into our nation’s waters,” says Tim Carroll, a spokesperson for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Perhaps surprisingly, not all unused medicines need to be thrown away. Every year five billion dollars’ worth of unexpired medicines end up being deserted in the U. S. “We’re wasting a lot of medicines which are already paid for,“ says Anandi Law, a patient engagement specialist. “Millions of U.S. adults skip or delay getting their prescriptions filled due to high costs. We could give them to somebody else who needs it.”
Now, at least 40 states have passed legislation establishing drug donation programs that allow drug manufacturers, medical and long-term care facilities, and sometimes individuals to donate their unused drugs. For example, since its start in 2007, lowa’s program, SafeNetRx, has served more than 117,000 patients and redistributed nearly 54-million-dollar worth of medicines and supplies. Georgia’s program formally was launched in 2018, and it has already filled prescriptions worth over 50 million dollars.
“All of these efforts are still relatively new,” Carroll says. “We still have a long way to go until households change their habits.”
12. What disadvantage of the drug take-back program is mentioned in paragraph 2
A. It costs large amounts of money.
B. It increases the greenhouse effect.
C. It can produce poisonous chemicals.
D. It wastes lots of energy to deal with old drugs.
13. What is Tim Carroll’s attitude towards the take-back program
A. Cautious.
B. Indifferent.
C. Supportive.
D. Disapproving.
14. What is Anandi Law’s suggestion about unused and unexpired medicines
A. Sending them to landfills.
B. Selling them at a low price.
C. Donating them to someone in need.
D. Developing technologies to recycle them.
15. What do the numbers in paragraph 5 mainly indicate
A. The challenging task of SafeNetRx.
B. The expense of recycling unused drugs.
C. The significance of health care facilities.
D. The achievements of drug donation programs.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了过期药品怎么处理。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“the process of transporting and burning such waste can release greenhouse gas emissions that could be potentially greater than those generated if the drugs were poured into landfills.(运输和燃烧这些废物的过程可能会释放温室气体,其排放量可能比将药物倒入垃圾填埋场产生的温室气体还要多)”可知,药品回收计划加重了温室效应。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句的“But take-back programs are preferred as they reduce the risk of drug misuse and the incineration effectively eliminates the entrance of these medicines into our nation’s waters(但回收项目更受欢迎,因为它们减少了药物滥用的风险,焚烧有效地消除了这些药物进入我国水域的可能性)”可知,蒂姆·卡罗尔对回收计划的态度是支持的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“We could give them to somebody else who needs it.(我们可以把它们送给其他需要的人)”可知,对于未使用和未过期的药物,Law建议把它们捐给有需要的人。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段的前两句“Now, at least 40 states have passed legislation establishing drug donation programs that allow drug manufacturers, medical and long-term care facilities, and sometimes individuals to donate their unused drugs. For example, since its start in 2007, lowa’s program, SafeNetRx, has served more than 117,000 patients and redistributed nearly 54-million-dollar worth of medicines and supplies.(现在,至少有40个州已经通过立法,建立了药物捐赠项目,允许药品制造商、医疗和长期护理机构,有时个人捐赠他们没有用过的药物。例如,自2007年启动以来,爱荷华州的SafeNetRx项目已经为11.7万多名患者提供了服务,并重新分配了价值近5400万美元的药品和用品)”可知,第五段提到的数字主要展示了药品捐赠工作取得的成绩。故选D项。

根据下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Is Managing Kids' Screen Time a Good Idea
Screen time is a big topic of conversation in today's households, particularly during the pandemic when online education hours have multiplied for many students.___16___They hope to spare their kids from the countless challenges that technology can bring. Yet the challenges of screen time overuse seldom come from kids' devices themselves, but rather from the tense relationships that technology can bring to families.___17___But technology has positive benefits too. Since every child and family is different, managing screen time calls for joint family decision-making.
If parents believe they can manage a child's screen time through adolescence, they are not only fooling themselves but also inviting relationship trouble with their teens. It is a myth to think that parents can or should manage their kids' screen time through authoritarian restrictions, even during elementary school. ___18___ When children are left out of those decisions, they often become less communicative with parents and siblings. This is the opposite of what parents want to achieve.
___19___ From early ages, children are quite capable of understanding that a good life involves awareness and balance. Just as they learn right from wrong, and good from bad, they can also learn to use technology in healthy ways. Learning how to regulate oneself and develop healthy behaviors is one of the primary tasks of childhood and adolescence. What happens when an adult tries to regulate a child is that the child misses out on the opportunity to learn for themselves. Enforced restrictions can also make children feel helpless and less confident.
To be clear, this article is not suggesting that families never use apps or trackers, or that there should be no restrictions on screen time.___20___Parents should give voice to children and involve them in the planning and decision-making process.
A. Of course, there are websites that are unhealthy for kids to access.
B. The alternative is to involve children in decisions that govern screen time.
C. However, every family needs a family media plan between family members.
D. The goal is to see, hear, feel, and understand how children view screen time.
E. To manage children's screen time, parents have invested in apps and trackers.
F. To get children involved, parents should trust and develop kids' self-awareness.
G. What it is suggesting is that parents look at managing screen time in a different way.
【答案】16. E 17. A 18. B 19. F 20. G
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了“管理孩子们的屏幕时间是个好主意吗”这一问题,最后得出结论:父母应该让孩子们有发言权,让他们参与问题的计划和决策过程。
【16题详解】
由上一句“在今天的家庭中,屏幕时间是一个重要的话题,特别是在疫情流行期间,许多学生的在线教育时间成倍增加。”和下一句“他们希望让孩子们免受科技带来的无数挑战。”可知,疫情流行期间,学生上网面对屏幕的时间增加,家长害怕这样对孩子造成不好的影响,所以会去购买相关的程序工具来监控孩子的上网时间,控制孩子们的屏幕时间,该选项中的“manage children's screen time”对应本段尾句中的“managing screen time”,承接上下文,E选项“为了管理孩子们的屏幕时间,家长们投资了应用程序和追踪器。”切题。故选E项。
【17题详解】
由下一句“但是科技也有积极的好处。”可知,But表转折,空后说科技的好处,此空应说科技不好的地方,比如不健康的网站对孩子不好,承接下文,A选项“当然,有些网站对孩子来说是不健康的。”切题。故选A项。
【18题详解】
由上一句“这是个神话,认为父母可以或应该通过专制的限制来管理孩子的荧屏时间,甚至在小学阶段也是如此。”和下一句“当孩子们被排除在这些决定之外时,他们通常会减少与父母和兄弟姐妹的交流。”可知,对于管理孩子们的屏幕时间,父母专制型的监管很难实现,而且当孩子被排除在“屏幕时间管理”的决定外,又会带来消极影响,说明作者认为孩子应该参与到“屏幕时间管理”的决策中,该选项中的“decisions”对应下文中的“those decisions”,承接上下文,B选项“另一种选择是让孩子们参与决定屏幕时间。”切题。故选B项。
【19题详解】
由下两句“从很小的时候起,孩子们就很有能力理解良好的生活需要意识和平衡。正如他们从错误中学习正确,从错误中学习好,他们也可以学习以健康的方式使用技术。”可知,孩子有能力理解一些事物,也能学习各种使用技术,说明孩子是有自主(学习)意识的,所以让孩子参与到“屏幕时间管理”的决策中时,父母要信任孩子有自我意识去学习、理解事物,承接下文,F选项“为了让孩子参与进来,父母应该信任并培养孩子的自我意识。”切题。故选F项。
【20题详解】
由上一句“明确地说,这篇文章并不是建议家庭永远不要使用应用程序或追踪器,或者不应该限制屏幕时间。”和下一句“父母应该让孩子们有发言权,让他们参与计划和决策过程。”可知,文章并非不建议父母不去管理孩子的屏幕时间,而是建议父母让孩子也参与到“屏幕时间管理”的决策中,相对于父母专制型的完全监管,这是一种不一样的管理屏幕时间方式,承接上下文,G选项“它的建议是,家长们应该用不同的方式来管理屏幕时间。”切题。故选G项。

【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:2017年,全世界有1100万人的死亡与食用高糖、高盐和高加工肉类有关。high in富含……,故填in。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was not uncommon to see a person like me in an amusement park, who held purses, cellphones and sunglasses while others enjoyed themselves riding roller coasters. I admitted their courage, but refused to challenge myself.
One day when we were at the Happy Amusement Park in Seattle, my friends tried to get me to ride a roller coaster. But the click, click, click of the cars climbing up the tracks made me scared. The stop at the top, before falling with people's screams, seemed terrible.
My friends were still trying to persuade me, and I was saying no as usual, when I suddenly saw a familiar face, one I had never seen in real life. It was Raine, a popular young tennis star at the top of her game, who was my heroine. I pulled out a pen and the only paper that I could find and walked to her.
She was making her way through a rope that led to a ride called the Loudest Scream. I was running fast because I didn't want to miss the chance to meet her face to face, but I was also a bit nervous. So I waited at the exit to calm down and get closer to her as she came off the ride.
Several minutes later, she got out from the exit, laughing and talking with her brother. I focused on her walking toward me. She walked past. It was more difficult to talk to a star than I thought, but I had to take the chance. I called her name, not very confidently, but more like a question, “Raine ” She turned around. Our eyes actually met. “Would you mind signing for me ” I asked, handing the pen and paper toward her. Her hand wrote over the paper and she said, “You are the first person who has recognized me in the park so let's take a roller coaster together.”
Paragraph 1:
Her warm invitation actually filled me with mixed feelings.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
My friend came up and asked, “Are you sure you will take the Loudest Scream ”
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Her warm invitation actually filled me with mixed feelings. On the one hand, I felt extremely excited that I was the only fan who got the priceless opportunity. I admired Raine very much and was eager to stay with her a little longer. On the other hand, I was scared of riding a roller coaster. The thought of having a try nearly pushed me to the verge of collapse. However, I must take the chance and it didn’t take much time to make my final decision. Mustering my courage, I nodded firmly and went to the roller coaster with her.
My friend came up and asked, “Are you sure you will take the Loudest Scream ” “Yes,” I answered without hesitation. She was rather surprised, with her mouth open and eyes widened. After all, she had spent years trying to persuade me but in vain. Fears of heights and moving too fast seemed unimportant to me now. Although I screamed during the entire time like a girl being chased by a hungry wolf, spending a good time with my idol made all of it worthwhile and my fear was miraculously overcome. And since then, I have lived in a world where I am a bit braver.

A
Four of the Most Magical Movies from Your Childhood
Whether it was the enchanting characters, the memorable scenes or simply because it was the first film your mum or dad took you to, these are the movies that have left the most lasting impressions over the decades.
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
“I loved it for two reasons. First, it showed a wonderful, loving extended family. I was fascinated by their kitchen setting and the little corner where the boy Charlie slept. Second, inside the chocolate factory was what all children dreamed of. The whole movie transported me from my childhood worries into a fairyland world.” — Margaret McKee
Dumbo
“For a kid who often felt like he didn’t fit in, and wasn’t good at anything, it was magical to see Dumbo discover his talent and become loved and celebrated.” — Lorraine
The Never-ending Story
“It has to be the most magical movie. The story has everything a young kid can ask for: a great story, a mythical flying dog and an interesting ending. Our family continue to watch it today. ” — Aaron Elliott
The Sound of Music
“When I was young, movies were a treat, with lollies, friends and a canvas seat. There was a special one that I did adore, and many times I’ve gone back for more. The songs, the scenery and the story line always transport me to another time. It is such a classic that my memories of it are so fantastic.” — Joanne Carter
1. What is “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory” about
A. A dangerous situation. B. A fairyland world.
C. A mysterious friend. D. An unexpected incident.
2. Which movie may most help children lacking confidence
A. Dumbo. B. The Never-ending Story.
C. The Sound of Music. D. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.
3. What does Aaron Elliott think of “The Never-ending Story”
A. It is full of unrealistic things. B. It meets all his expectations (期待).
C. It influences people of all ages. D. It is the most meaningful movie.
B
My childhood was a painted picture of sunny sky and rolling green fields stretching to the horizon. It tasted of sharp berries and smelt of sour grapes. My family lived in a cabin(小木屋) in the countryside but I lived in my mother’s arms. They were so delicate but strong, her red hair falling around me like a curtain separating me from the world.
Childhood was simple. The borders of my village were the furthest my troubles went and monsters only lived in the pages of books. Every day was a waking dream of running races and muddy knees. My village was archaic, dying cabins housing dying farmers with dying traditions. There weren’t many children but me and the other boys; boys of butchers and sellers formed our own group.
They called us wild. I suppose we were. Trees and mountains formed our playgrounds and fights broke out as easily as sudden laughter. Liberated from the restrictions of society, we would bound into the woods, deeper and deeper until we found a lake which, with a wild yell, we would jump into all at once.
My most vivid memories from boyhood center around that lake. Water shone brightly and the sounds of our screams broke into the outcry from birds. The shock of cold water against sweating skin would wake every nerve in my body and my bare feet would hit the sinking muddy bottom. As we submerged(淹没), time would suspend, movements slowing as bubbles rose around us.
I was drowning. I was living. I was living. I was drowning.
For timelessness or a second (both felt the same), we would suspend, curl up, and then be forced back out into breathing air.
We should have known that it wouldn’t last forever. Yet, even under the best circumstances, there’s something so tragic about growing up: to have your perspective on the people and life around you change;to always struggle to reach a mirror only to find yourself tall enough to see your reflection one day. And find, a different person staring back out at you.
4. What does the underlined word “archaic” mean in paragraph 2
A. Borderless.
B. Valueless.
C. Old-fashioned.
D. Poverty-stricken.
5 Why did the author consider himself and other children wild
A. They played in the woods crazily.
B. They tricked others purposefully.
C. They frequently broke social rules.
D They firmly refused school education.
6. How does the author introduce his memories of the lake
A. By sharing feelings.
B. By expressing ideas.
C. By making comparisons.
D. By describing characters.
7. What message does the author seem to convey in the last paragraph
A. Loneliness and challenges make a man grow up.
B. The regret of growth is that you have never tried.
C Growth is often accompanied by sad goodbyes to the past.
D. Growth begins when we begin to accept our own weakness.
C
Typically, a person sitting in the driver’s seat of a car opens the door with the hand closest to it. It makes sense since doors are designed to be opened that way. Pull the handle and immediately the door is open. But if you happen to do that at the wrong time, you may create an obstacle (障碍) for a passing cyclist without knowing it. Then the cyclist will be sent falling off the bike, and the car door is likely to be damaged by the fast-moving bicycle.
Obviously the solution is for the person getting out of the vehicle to check for oncoming traffic, but car door design and long-time habits have made the process instinctual. Luckily, there’s a simple way to solve the problem: the Dutch reach. In other words, instead of using your left hand, reach for the door latch (门锁) with your right hand. This will force you to turn your body. At least, you’ll look into your side view mirror to see whether any car or bike is coming.
“It’s just what Dutch people do,” said Fred Wegman, the former managing director of the National Institute for Road Safety Research in the Netherlands. “All the Dutch are taught it. It’s part of regular driver education.”
The technique dates back about 50 or 60 years, and it was very popular between the 1960s and the 1980s. But it didn’t really become known as the Dutch reach until a retired American physician named Michael Charney started the Dutch Reach Project in 2016 in an effort to popularize the practice in the United States and beyond. According to The Times, he was motivated by the death of a 27-year- old who rode into an open car door and died just five blocks from his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Charney’s efforts may be paying off. Both Massachusetts and Illinois now include the Dutch reach in their drivers’ manuals (手册).
8. What is the first paragraph intended to show
A. The poor design of the car door and handle.
B. A common conflict between cars and bicycles.
C. A main cause of traffic accidents linked to cyclists.
D. Potential risks associated with opening the car door.
9. What does the underlined word “instinctual” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Complex. B. Possible. C. Natural. D. Dangerous.
10. How does the Dutch reach help to reduce traffic accidents
A. By making the person open the car door more easily.
B. By forcing the person to check for approaching traffic.
C. By reminding the person of the traffic lights frequently.
D. By helping the person see the side view mirror more clearly.
11. What made Charney introduce the Dutch reach into America
A. Its popularity among Dutch people. B. Its appearance in drivers’ manuals.
C. A project launched in the year 2016. D. The death caused by a traffic accident.
D
Most people have no idea what to do with their old drugs. Unused or expired(到期的) medicines lying around at home can get into the wrong hands, leading to accidental poisoning or drug overdose. When drugs are flushed or sent to landfill, the medicines can pollute our groundwater, rivers, and streams, threatening human and sea life.
In an effort to find a solution for drugs kept in medicine boxes or waterways, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration launched its first National Take-Back Day in September 2010. In the drug take-back program, the returned drugs are sent to medical waste incinerators (焚烧炉). However, the process of transporting and burning such waste can release green-house gas emissions that could be potentially greater than those generated if the drugs were poured into landfills.
“But take-back programs are preferred as they reduce the risk of drug misuse and the incin-eration effectively eliminates the entrance of these medicines into our nation’s waters,” says Tim Carroll, a spokesperson for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Perhaps surprisingly, not all unused medicines need to be thrown away. Every year five billion dollars’ worth of unexpired medicines end up being deserted in the U. S. “We’re wasting a lot of medicines which are already paid for,“ says Anandi Law, a patient engagement specialist. “Millions of U.S. adults skip or delay getting their prescriptions filled due to high costs. We could give them to somebody else who needs it.”
Now, at least 40 states have passed legislation establishing drug donation programs that allow drug manufacturers, medical and long-term care facilities, and sometimes individuals to donate their unused drugs. For example, since its start in 2007, lowa’s program, SafeNetRx, has served more than 117,000 patients and redistributed nearly 54-million-dollar worth of medicines and supplies. Georgia’s program formally was launched in 2018, and it has already filled prescriptions worth over 50 million dollars.
“All of these efforts are still relatively new,” Carroll says. “We still have a long way to go until households change their habits.”
12. What disadvantage of the drug take-back program is mentioned in paragraph 2
A. It costs large amounts of money.
B. It increases the greenhouse effect.
C. It can produce poisonous chemicals.
D. It wastes lots of energy to deal with old drugs.
13. What is Tim Carroll’s attitude towards the take-back program
A. Cautious.
B. Indifferent.
C. Supportive.
D. Disapproving.
14. What is Anandi Law’s suggestion about unused and unexpired medicines
A. Sending them to landfills.
B. Selling them at a low price.
C. Donating them to someone in need.
D. Developing technologies to recycle them.
15. What do the numbers in paragraph 5 mainly indicate
A. The challenging task of SafeNetRx.
B. The expense of recycling unused drugs.
C. The significance of health care facilities.
D. The achievements of drug donation programs.

Is Managing Kids' Screen Time a Good Idea
Screen time is a big topic of conversation in today's households, particularly during the pandemic when online education hours have multiplied for many students.___16___They hope to spare their kids from the countless challenges that technology can bring. Yet the challenges of screen time overuse seldom come from kids' devices themselves, but rather from the tense relationships that technology can bring to families.___17___But technology has positive benefits too. Since every child and family is different, managing screen time calls for joint family decision-making.
If parents believe they can manage a child's screen time through adolescence, they are not only fooling themselves but also inviting relationship trouble with their teens. It is a myth to think that parents can or should manage their kids' screen time through authoritarian restrictions, even during elementary school. ___18___ When children are left out of those decisions, they often become less communicative with parents and siblings. This is the opposite of what parents want to achieve.
___19___ From early ages, children are quite capable of understanding that a good life involves awareness and balance. Just as they learn right from wrong, and good from bad, they can also learn to use technology in healthy ways. Learning how to regulate oneself and develop healthy behaviors is one of the primary tasks of childhood and adolescence. What happens when an adult tries to regulate a child is that the child misses out on the opportunity to learn for themselves. Enforced restrictions can also make children feel helpless and less confident.
To be clear, this article is not suggesting that families never use apps or trackers, or that there should be no restrictions on screen time.___20___Parents should give voice to children and involve them in the planning and decision-making process.
A. Of course, there are websites that are unhealthy for kids to access.
B. The alternative is to involve children in decisions that govern screen time.
C. However, every family needs a family media plan between family members.
D. The goal is to see, hear, feel, and understand how children view screen time.
E. To manage children's screen time, parents have invested in apps and trackers.
F. To get children involved, parents should trust and develop kids' self-awareness.
G. What it is suggesting is that parents look at managing screen time in a different way.

It was not uncommon to see a person like me in an amusement park, who held purses, cellphones and sunglasses while others enjoyed themselves riding roller coasters. I admitted their courage, but refused to challenge myself.
One day when we were at the Happy Amusement Park in Seattle, my friends tried to get me to ride a roller coaster. But the click, click, click of the cars climbing up the tracks made me scared. The stop at the top, before falling with people's screams, seemed terrible.
My friends were still trying to persuade me, and I was saying no as usual, when I suddenly saw a familiar face, one I had never seen in real life. It was Raine, a popular young tennis star at the top of her game, who was my heroine. I pulled out a pen and the only paper that I could find and walked to her.
She was making her way through a rope that led to a ride called the Loudest Scream. I was running fast because I didn't want to miss the chance to meet her face to face, but I was also a bit nervous. So I waited at the exit to calm down and get closer to her as she came off the ride.
Several minutes later, she got out from the exit, laughing and talking with her brother. I focused on her walking toward me. She walked past. It was more difficult to talk to a star than I thought, but I had to take the chance. I called her name, not very confidently, but more like a question, “Raine ” She turned around. Our eyes actually met. “Would you mind signing for me ” I asked, handing the pen and paper toward her. Her hand wrote over the paper and she said, “You are the first person who has recognized me in the park so let's take a roller coaster together.”
Paragraph 1:
Her warm invitation actually filled me with mixed feelings.
